A parent would reach for this book when their toddler first begins to show interest in the bathroom or when they are met with the common 'diaper or potty?' hesitation. It speaks to that sensitive transition point where a child is developing the body awareness and curiosity needed to move toward independence. This board book follows a relatable baby who observes how pets and parents use the facilities, leading to a gentle internal monologue about where their own business should go. Leslie Patricelli uses bright, bold illustrations and humor to normalize the process, focusing on the child's internal decision making rather than adult pressure. By emphasizing the pride and accomplishment of a successful 'win,' it helps toddlers frame potty training as an exciting big kid milestone. It is a perfect choice for children aged 1 to 3 who need to see the potty as a friendly, non-intimidating part of their daily routine.
